As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Hua Manlou gritted his teeth and said, "Coptis chinensis seven qian, stewed in one and a half cups of water, and served warm."

Just as Wang Lianzu nodded, he realized that Hua Manlou was mocking him again. Just as the carriage stopped, he said with a smile: "We're here, let's get out of the car, Mr. Qian please."

Hua Manlou lifted the curtain of the car angrily, and was a little dazed after just a glance: This...

It's actually a manor?

177. Is this the Three Kingdoms of the Extraordinary?

It is not uncommon for the White Lotus Sect to have a manor. It is better to say that religious organizations have never been too poor.

For example, the famous Shaolin Temple, not to mention incense money, was given 14000 hectares of land in the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and thousands of good fields in Tang Taizong. By the time of Tang and Song Dynasties, Shaolin Temple had more than 540 mu of land, 5000 mu of temple foundation, and towers and halls. There are more than 2000 pavilions and more than [-] monks. Of course, Shaolin Temple is at least doing business, not to mention its status in the martial arts world.

Can Bailian teach...

The gods they believe in are extremely complex. The Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace, the King of Hades in hell, and the sages in the world are all-encompassing. The most famous ones are Maitreya Buddha and Wusheng Old Mother. The attitude of the imperial court is also different, and the purpose of the leaders also varies from person to person: some amass money, some cling to the imperial court, some preach in the bridal chamber, and some even specialize in cultivating believers in the imperial court or wealthy families, and their banners are not complete. It's the White Lotus Sect...

It can be summed up in one word: What the hell?

Of course, Huamanlou met the most violent kind: those who specialize in rebellion.

In short, just because there are so many believers, so many people have great strength. If a believer donates a little at random, won’t the money come?What's more, at first glance, this manor is the property of the gentry believers near Tianjinwei. The leader is coming, can he not kneel and lick it?

The sun was shining brightly after the first snowfall, but Huamanlou standing at the gate of the manor was not in a bright mood at all.

Den of thieves, can I get out of it?

Without waiting for him to think about it, the middle door of the manor suddenly opened, and an old man came out with a big laugh: "Lian Zu is back? Then this must be the famous playboy?"

Hua Manlou looked at the old man with white beard and hair, and felt scornful in his heart: At this age, why are you still plotting to rebel?And is this trying to subtly or something, not even the official title?

Wang Lianzu saluted respectfully and said: "Elder Niu, fortunately, this subordinate did not disgrace his life and invited him back."

"That's right, that's right, this old man will give you credit for it." Elder Niu replied, then looked at Hua Manlou with a displeased face and said with a smile, "Young Master, you have heard your name for a long time!"

Hua Manlou sneered: "I'd rather you not look up to me for a long time, and everyone can calm down, right?"

Seeing Hua Manlou mocking, Elder Niu was not angry either, he smiled and said: "I will invite you here with this method, and it is right for you to complain, and I am willing to listen to any complaints later, but for now, let's go to the house first." How are you?"

Hua Manlou rolled his eyes: "If I say something bad, can I not go in? Talk nonsense!"

After all, he didn't care what the expressions of the people around him were, and walked straight in, but Elder Niu didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, he just nodded at Wang Lianzu, and then happily followed Huamanlou into the mansion .

Although it is located in the outskirts, the houses and furnishings in this manor are quite elegant, as if they are the style of a wealthy family nowadays.But Hua Manlou was not in the mood to watch these things, he walked into the front hall and sat down on the main seat, then shouted at the little maid standing beside him: "What are you looking at, serve tea!"

The little girl, who was about the same age as Qin'er, cast her horrified eyes at Elder Niu who walked in with Huamanlou, and ran out in a panic when he nodded cheerfully, but Elder Niu sat down by himself. On the guest seat, he smiled and said, "How about calming down, my lord?"

Hua Manlou showed a bright smile: "Am I angry? No? Am I not happy?"

Elder Niu didn't care about this with him, and said with a smile: "Then, how about listening to the old man?"

Hua Manlou raised his legs: "Don't listen, I'm tired."

Elder Niu Quan thought he was talking nonsense, and said to himself: "My lord, do you know that Dazhao is about to run out?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I have to say that the old man speaks in the style of the Three Kingdoms—or the style of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is, he first finds a way to use half of the words to attract the attention of others, or he gasps to anger the person he wants to persuade. Then when the other party was angry, he suddenly threw out a plausible argument, and then talked about it citing classics, and finally convinced him...

In short, no matter who it is, running to be a lobbyist in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is such a routine. For example, Zhuge Liang even scolded a whole circle when he was fighting with the Confucians. The family united against Cao...

Of course, there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this era, but Luo Guanzhong was from the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, roughly the same age as Huamanlou at this moment, so I guess the trend of the times is like this?

But I have to say, this method is really effective, no matter what your reaction is, the other party can have a set of words to lure you into a gu, so seeing Hua Manlou laughing wildly, Elder Niu asked solemnly: "Young master, why are you laughing? "

Someone else might explain it, but Hua Manlou is very familiar with this set of things—how can someone who is familiar with history books not read the Three Kingdoms?So he ignored the old man and looked at the sun directly: "Is it almost time?"

Now Elder Niu was tricked by him: "When?"

Hua ManLou looked at him obliquely: "It's lunch time. It's really unreasonable to invite someone to visit you and not even care about the meal!"

Elder Niu was stunned, but immediately smiled and said: "It is said that the son has worked hard on the road, and he should take a break to worry about it. Come, let's arrange a banquet!"

But Hua Manlou stood up directly: "There is no good banquet, so it's better not to eat it. But I heard geese screaming outside, bring me an iron pot to stew big nee, stew a little bit, and the skin color should be golden The kind, or I won’t eat...Well, I’m tired from the journey, I’ll go to rest for a while, call me when the meal is ready. Oh, the little girl brought water? Take it, take me to the guest room, hurry up!”

Elder Niu: "..."

Huamanlou's method is called non-violent non-cooperation, which means that it doesn't matter what Elder Niu is doing in vain, in short, he just doesn't follow the common sense to play all kinds of cards-this is the experience I got from Huanglian...Wang Lianzu in the past two days .After all...

Right now, the idea of ​​the White Lotus Sect is self-evident. From the point of view of their approach, they still hope to win over, so shouldn't Huamanlou have to dance?

And according to common sense, anyone who is robbed like this has to be a little angry, and Hua Manlou's performance can be described as appropriate: he has taken care of his identity, and he has shown an attitude that he can't talk about it-if the other party is really angry, he will be considered himself. When the time comes, Hua Manlou can look up to the sky and say with a long smile: "So the White Lotus Sect only has this little viscera? I'm so ridiculous, but with such a large belly, they still try to overthrow the imperial court? It's a joke in the world! Someone was mistaken by you!"

Well, isn't this the Three Kingdoms?

Moreover, it has been said that the leader is here, maybe he is hiding somewhere to eavesdrop, so what kind of garlic is Elder Ma...Elder Niu?Running to be funny?

Sure enough, Elder Niu didn't stop Hua Manlou from walking out the door, allowing him to keep doing it.

Hua Manlou chuckled, and went straight to the guest room. He felt the need to refresh his mind and prepare for the next round of wits.

178. Why don't you let me try?

Huamanlou seemed to be tricked into a pyramid sale den, he was cautious but at the same time pretended to be indifferent, lying in the guest room loudly waiting for someone to fool him.

In fact, Hua Manlou has experience in this kind of thing, because he was tricked by a friend once in his previous life.He was locked in the room at the time, and a leader wanted to talk to him about their career, but Hua Manlou just lay on the ground and took a nap all afternoon, thinking that person was air, and then...

Then he saw Kongzi snatched a kitchen knife and a rolling pin from the kitchen, waved it like a lunatic, and was so frightened that the man opened the door to let him go, and then escaped... (cough, this is my own experience, remind One sentence, students who have not entered the society, when a friend suddenly tells you that there is a good project or good job that will let you go to an unfamiliar place, be careful)

But now is not that time, the den he entered is not too violent, but the White Lotus Sect is extremely violent, so it is not suitable to be too crazy, he just wants to have a chance to let the people outside relax their vigilance and escape quickly .

……

Hua ManLou could barely leave the front hall, and a person Shi Shi ran out of the side hall, and Elder Niu immediately saluted after seeing this, "I have seen the saint."

Looking at the age of seventeen or eighteen, the saintess had a slightly thin face as white as a water lotus, a small nose, thin lips, and the most impressive thing was her white hair.

I have to say that there is still a big difference between white hair and silver hair.

Silver hair is the color of the old man, mottled and a little darker in color, which is actually not good-looking.And the saintess's white hair is that kind of extremely beautiful pure white, and her clear and beautiful face immediately has a kind of shocking beauty, so that no one in the White Lotus Sect dares to look directly at the saintess' three breaths, because that This feeling of self-deprecation really makes people's stomach ache-so, no matter what era, everyone in the Celestial Dynasty is white-haired.

At this time, the white-haired saint walked up to Elder Niu with lotus steps, nodded and asked softly, "What does Elder Niu think?"

Her voice sounded very pleasant, as if there was a kind of healing power contained in it, which could be described as extremely miraculous, so the anger that Elder Niu had just been ignited by Hua Manlou was extinguished in an instant.

"It's hard to say." Elder Niu smiled wryly: "Although it seems that he didn't put up too much resistance, he still has an attitude of not cooperating. I'm not sure what he is thinking. But... in my opinion He should have guessed why we brought him here, and he seems to have some understanding of this religion, so this matter... is not easy to handle."

The saint nodded slightly and said: "Master has instructed before leaving that Huamanlou must reveal the method of making the thunder and firecrackers, and if necessary, at all costs, we are allowed to do things cheaply, so if the elders have ideas, you might as well Let go and do it, if I need to cooperate, I will do my best."

Elder Niu's eyes flashed: "Including... torture to extract a confession?"

The white-haired saint frowned slightly: "Including, but the elder also knows that a capable person is naturally different from ordinary people, so if he rashly extracts a confession without knowing Huamanlou, it may solve the problem, or it may never be solved." Can't solve the problem."

To put it bluntly, I am afraid that Hua Manlou is a stubborn donkey, the kind who will not go away and retreat, if it really breaks up, then...

Elder Niu understood, nodded and said: "Of course, I will not take such a bad strategy unless I have no other choice. Everything is based on the overall situation of the Holy Church."

The saint sighed and said: "Nowadays, the Holy Cult is in a difficult situation. If one is not careful, it will end forever, and the people of Beizong also annoyed Master very much. Fortunately, there is no accident in Datong this time, otherwise..."

Mentioning this Elder Niu suddenly became angry again: "Why does Zhong Wenxuan have the face to call himself the Northern Sect? In order to take refuge in the Tartars and sacrifice for Datong, they have completely lost the face of the ancestors! If it wasn't for a flower man, just I'm afraid that Datong's corpses are already everywhere!"

If Huamanlou were here, he would be very surprised by this matter, after all...

At the beginning, he didn't bother to care about Datong's affairs at all, but since the establishment of Pudu, he had discussed the Datong War with Uncle Huai'an. Even so, Datong's hard power has not been damaged at all-don't forget, before the use of Purdue, Ning Guogong also relied on reinforcements from the Fifth Army Battalion and Datong officers and soldiers to fight Tuotuobuhua for three full days. Seeing that the situation is basically unbeatable Then why did Tuotuo Buhua attack Datong by force?

After the Battle of Datong, Huamanlou had gradually forgotten about this incident, and regarded it as a matter of getting off his nerves, or reducing the number of herdsmen to save supplies, but now it seems...

Oh, now Huamanlou still doesn't know about this.

Seeing that Elder Niu got angry again, the saint comforted him: "Elder, don't be angry, this time, after I finish the matter, Master will go to him and explain it to him..."

"Partition? Hmph, according to my opinion, we should clean up the house!" Elder Niu was trembling with anger: "Bai Lian descended to earth, and all people turned their backs. They disregarded all people, disregarded the religious rules, and accepted thieves as fathers for their own selfish desires. How can we let them still live? The leader should also Do some thunderbolt tricks!"

It has to be said that although the White Lotus Sect has devoted their entire lives to the great cause of rebellion, they still regard themselves as the descendants of Yan and Huang. Even if this elder Niu has been brainwashed since childhood to believe that Maitreya came to the world and Wu Sheng's old mother, he still hates this so-called Northern Sect. To the bone.

The saint kept silent, and said after a while: "The great cause is not yet finished, and their power is still useful."

Elder Niu stopped talking.

It can be said that the current situation of the White Lotus Sect is actually a bit embarrassing, because in troubled times they can practice their set of fallacies and heresies of red sun and white sun - they think that troubled times are darkness before dawn, and light will eventually overcome darkness , so everyone must stand up and fight to welcome the light, and then the future Buddha Maitreya will come to the world.

however……

After all, Emperor Guangxing created the existence of Guangxing Zhongxing, which made their method very unmarketable and extremely embarrassing.

You must know that there have always been only a small number of fanatics in any religion, and the White Lotus Sect is based on the common people, but if the people of Dazhao can survive, they will at most give them a little incense money, how can they rise up with them? ?

It was the Tang Saier uprising in Huamanlou's previous life. The real battles were nothing more than a few thousand people, and it was still in Shandong—the main battlefield of the Jingnan Battle. After the war, it was bleak. The resentment caused him not to give this place the preferential treatment like Shuntian Mansion at all, that's why there are only thousands of people making trouble, so...

Even if Emperor Guangxing did not intensify the attack on Bailian at this time, the current power of the White Lotus Sect is not very strong, and it cannot withstand the so-called Northern Sect of Bailian.

Elder Niu knew this clearly, so he remained silent.

Seeing this, the saint said again: "Because of this, we need those things that are all over the building."

Elder Niu scratched his head when he heard the words: "But that kid doesn't like oil and salt, how should we think of a way to deal with him?"

"How about... let me try?"

179. The child's name is...

"No!"

Elder Niu flatly refused without even thinking about it.

Because, the White Lotus Sect has not had saints in the true sense from generation to generation. Some who claim to be or claim to be saints are nothing more than to fool people, and a considerable part of them will be regarded as pawns of beauty tricks, and they will be called beautiful. Said for the holy religion...

But the saintess of this generation is different. She is not only the disciple of the current leader, but also the reserve of the next leader, and the core figure of Duduer.

As for why it is her, it is easy to say: First, although this saint is not very old, her medical skills are even inferior to many famous doctors, and she is unparalleled in the world with poison, and these two things are in Bailian's eyes. Teaching is very important. After all, if you want to win the hearts of the people or play tricks, these two things are necessary, right?

Second, her white-haired packaging is simply not too neat.

Don't think that the packaging character design is the patent of Huamanlou's previous film and television industry. In fact, these ancient people have also played badly.Even the one who rose up knew how to make himself a "Great Chu Xing King Chen Sheng", let alone the White Lotus Sect who is used to pretending to be a ghost?

So, the fact that the contemporary white lotus saint is one of the seven fairies descended to the mortal world driven by the inanimate mother, doesn't it sound very touching?

Well, it sounds like a joke, but who can go to the home of the vacuum to prove that they are wrong?

For this persona, the Lord Bailian has put a lot of effort into cultivating the saint. Her behavior, manner of speaking, and even her attire are all strictly restricted. She pretends to be a female Bodhisattva from nowhere. That's the only way to look fairy-like, so it's good to fool the followers, isn't it?

So, does this method sound a lot like Huamanlou's previous life of cultivating idols in an island country?Or, is it more like a child raising a skinny horse nowadays?

So, the ancestors have messed up many things...

Having said that, why is Elder Niu not willing to let the saintess touch Huamanlou?

It's also very simple.

Just imagine, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is locked up in a room by her master to learn medicine and poison all day long. What is there to teach her about the development of the White Lotus Sect, such as idol cultivation... Bah, saintess cultivation, so like this No matter how smart a little white flower who has basically never experienced beatings in society, how can he beat Huamanlou who even Elder Niu himself finds troublesome?

What's more, the so-called saintess of the White Lotus Sect is really notorious, and it is hard to set a good example. If she is allowed to contact Huamanlou, the people below may think that the saintess is a pawn in a beauty trick In this way, how can she still hold the power of the holy religion in the future?

But the saint was unmoved, she said: "The situation of the Holy Cult is really not optimistic. The sooner Huamanlou submits, the sooner the great cause will be achieved, so why not if I try?"

It has to be said that the distinction between white lotus sect is even more serious than that of the imperial court. If the leader is equivalent to the emperor, and the saint is equivalent to the prince with certain authority, then the elder is at most a minister, so you say Besides debating, does he have any other way to stop the saint?

But what they brought up was the great cause of the holy religion, so how can Elder Niu argue?

So he muttered a few times, and then said: "Forget it, you can try it."

……

Hua Manlou got his wish and ate the stewed big nee in an iron pot. While eating, he said to the little maid standing beside him, "Well, the taste is not bad, but the stew is not particularly bad... Would you like some?"

The little maid shook her head in fright when she heard Hua Manlou's words, she didn't dare to reach out to pick up the chopsticks that Hua Manlou handed over, which made Hua Manlou very hurt: "I'm not a monster, why are you so scared? "

Seeing this little girl Huamanlou, I thought of Qin'er, and thinking of Qin'er, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed: It has been two days since I was arrested, I don't know if the little girl is okay?If the little girl was here, I'm afraid that not only would she sit down and eat together immediately, but she would also say a few words such as 'Master, don't drip the vegetable juice on your body, it's hard to wash' or something like that?

Qin'er squatted at the gate and waited foolishly when she worked seven days in the Shenji Camp before, but now she was robbed in front of her, so I'm afraid the little girl won't even be able to eat for two days Bar?

Thinking about this, Hua Manlou's resentment towards the White Lotus Sect deepened: If my loli starves out of her life, I will never end with you guys!

While he was gnawing his teeth on the duck's paw, the door of the guest room suddenly opened.

Huamanlou thought it was Elder Niu who had arrived, and smiled smugly, intending to continue to fight with him, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What the hell?"
